What is it about Hip Hop and Dancehall that makes some women behave like this?

Your blood ?
I assume you are a human ?
All humans are the same.
The human race.
DV,
ReplyDeleteTake that vid down.
That shit is disgusting.
WTF!
ReplyDeletewow. i don't want to see ANY woman behaving like that. she looks like some kind of mutt in heat. is this what black women are doing in dancehall/reggae clubs? i hope not!
for some reason, i read the post as 'makes white women act like this' LOL i guess just from the freeze frame if the video, i really didn't want to identify with this girl
ReplyDeleteI aint even gon' say nothing. [shaking my head].
ReplyDeleteAs more and more women find their ground in this male-dominated society, mass media and entertainment are working ever so hard to convince women that they are merely sex objects. Some see through the webs; those lacking self-esteem usually do not.
ReplyDeleted.h.,
ReplyDeleteYou make an interesting point.
However, have you considered the possibility that not all women needed to be "convinced" to allow themselves to serve as sexual objects. Many of them do it with surprisingly little urging.
Also, is society really "male dominated"? I know it's said to be so ad nauseam, but other than having been the feminine mantra of the past 40 years, what reason is there to believe either gender dominates society? I suspect there exists an equilibrium.
Women do quite well in the arena of group identity politics.

ReplyDeleteActually, no. Not as far as African American society is concerned. That society has become dominated by the female.
But not by the woman.
by default, MF. believe that.

Mike. This is 2007. Not 1957.
Where is this mythical ""African American Society"?
There really is no such thing as "African American Society" anymore.
That is a cliched abstraction.
A few "hoods". A few black "sub-divisions". A few black restaurants where Negros like to congregate. A few barber shops and the Jamaica Day Parade. A few big black churchs in Atlanta.
Other than that "African American Society" exists within the rest of American Society and that is in the television.
There is no African American Society. There is only African American Flavored Media.

Male
What does that mean Casper?
Oh yeah baby that was cool ~!~
ReplyDeleteI love it.
That is the unbridled female and there is nothing better.
A force of nature that can not be controlled.
Like a sudden storm that blows up and the wind starts blowing ~!!!
Freedom.
Africans dance like that...it is in our blood...
ReplyDeleteWe feel the rhythm and we jerk our bodies...
I am a lot more conservative than that, but it is something that we can definitely trace back through our culture...
The white girl...that was just a sad, sad attempt...goodness...
Hey you bigot soteria...

Looks like good clean fun to me.
ReplyDeleteYou do realize it's a function of the white supremacy paradigm to make human sexuality something to be included in the divide and conquer power struggle.
So everyone can't say it's just good clean fun, because many people have so many hangups about sexuality, theirs and other folks, that they will turn a scene like the sisters dancing into something vulgar or put a chauvinistic spin on it.
@DV, what's the difference between 2007 and 1957 in re: African American society and culture. Are you saying we had some sort of society/culture then that we no longer have? If we truly don't have one now then logic says we never did. Can a people without a culture ever develop any sort of group identity or unity?
@skip, We may all be of the human race but all anecdotal evidence points to a deficiency in those humans of the lighter skinned persuasion that makes the majority of them rhythm challenged. Not all of them are so afflicted, but the poor girl on this vid most definitely is. Luckily for her, there truly is someone for everyone. Go get 'em tiger!
Oh really dumb ass ?
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard of Gene Kelly or
Mikhail B. or Fred Astaire ?
Not sure where you get your anecdotes from.
You sound like a typical bigot to me.
Hello Exodus Mentality. Hello suckers.
"@DV, what's the difference between 2007 and 1957 in re: African American society and culture. Are you saying we had some sort of society/culture then that we no longer have?" Exodus
ReplyDeleteNo.
I am saying 50 years of mass media, mass education and mass consumerism has homogenized Americans into one giant monolith of conformist consumers differentiated only by the illusion of group identity.
"If we truly don't have one now then logic says we never did." Exodus
Logic "says" no such thing. All good things must come to an end.
"Can a people without a culture ever develop any sort of group identity or unity?" Exodus
Nope.
Especially not if those "people" average 42.5 hours of television a week.

LOL. Ex and Fisher, take your intellectual ass whipping like men.
This is school for you.
That NeoNegro / Pseudo Conservative / Hate other black men politics you try to peddle is a lame hustle.
"The Afro-American Society" ...
We don't even have an "Afro-American" newspaper let alone a "society".
Come on Fish. Get the fuck out of here with that Claudine shit. You too smart for that.
And don't get embarrassed and bitter when I call you on it. That's not a good look.
What is up with Skip...you think everyone is a bigot huh?
ReplyDeleteWebster defines bigot as-
a person obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices; especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance.
How is what I said filled with hate or intollerance? How am I devoted soley to my own opinion and prejudice? You seem to be the intolerant one since you are calling people who don't agree with you, 'bigots and dumb asses'...way to take the moral high road...
Your examples of how white people have rhythm is Fred Astaire and Mikal B?? Interesting...true enough they have their own set of rhythm, but I don't know if they have the rhythm necessary to get their dancehall swerve on... I'm just sayin!
By the way all humans are not the same...we have individual identities based on our life experience and exposure...culture makes us different. I am vastly different culturally than my white friends...even though we were raised in the same type of environments...
